It’s true that we avoid the blizzards of the East, but going outside without a jacket can cost you on a December evening. That’s why any of us welcome the traditional Spring months as a return to ideal weather. Believe or not, in addition to being the cause of neglected jackets everywhere, warm weather can also cause dental discomfort!
